Picture 17. Daniel Prays to God

Daniel 6:1-13Daniel had great power (authority) in that land. Other officials were very jealous of him. They could find no fault in him for Daniel obeyed the king. So the enemies of Daniel went to the king and said, "The king should issue an order which says that anyone who prays to any god or man, except to you, O king, shall be thrown into the lions' den." The king agreed with the men and he made the new law. Daniel heard of the king's new law, but he continued to pray to God as he did every day. When his enemies saw him praying, they went to the king and said, "Daniel has not obeyed the law you made." (Signal)
